Beiyang reactionaries

Bang bang bang.

Chen Shufan always felt that something would happen, he was very scared, his heart was pounding.

"July 1918, the seventh year of the Republic of China (7)..."

Quiet.

Only He Yaozu's voice echoed in the entire venue.

"General Duan, is what you said true?"

Before He Yaozu finished reading, someone stood up and asked Duan Xun directly.Duan Xun saw who interrupted He Yaozu like this. After seeing the speaker, Duan Xun said with certainty: "Director Guo, I, Duan Xun, guarantee the authenticity of these things with my personality. And because the time is too short, Many have not been counted yet. If you give me time, I can sort out what happened in Fengxiang, Weibei, and Tongzhou during the year."

It was Guo Xiren who spoke.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the deputy chairman of the Shaanxi Consultative Bureau, the senior adviser of the military government after the [-] Revolution, and the head of the Political Affairs Office of the General Affairs Office. During the period after the [-] Revolution, Guo Xiren was in charge of the government affairs of the Shaanxi Provincial Government.Therefore, at that time, Shaanxi political circles called Guo Xiren "Prime Minister Guo".

This person is a literati, who originally belonged to the Shaanxi Constitutional School and has a great reputation in the academic circle.Later, he joined the Tongmenghui, and even once served as the head of the Shaanxi Tongmenghui.After that, there were ups and downs, especially after Lu Jianzhang supervised Shaanxi, Guo Xiren went to Europe to investigate the water conservancy in Europe.After returning to China, he served as the director of the Shaanxi Water Conservancy Bureau and has been committed to the water conservancy construction of Shaanxi.

Guo Xiren opposed fighting in Shaanxi.When Chen Shufan fought with the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army, he also went to the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army on behalf of Chen Shufan, hoping to connect the two sides and hope that the two sides could sit down and talk.

But failed.

Although Guo Xiren was from the Tongmenghui, he did not join the Shanxi Yasukuni Army and returned to Xi'an.In order to win over Guo Xiren, Chen Shufan appointed Guo Xiren as the director of Shaanxi Education Department.

Guo Xiren is a top figure in the current Shaanxi political and academic circles.Moreover, Chen Shufan, the Shanxi Yasukuni Army, and even many academic leaders in Beijing can be related.He is a well-known person in Shaanxi.

"How could this happen?"

Guo Xiren couldn't help muttering to himself when he heard Duan Xun's affirmation.

student.

A lot of it is very emotional.Maybe their actions made many people feel that these people are hypocritical, but they do have some compassionate thoughts.Listening to the tragedies that He Yaozu read out, Guo Xiren and other teachers, how could they not be surprised.

Not only Guo Xiren, but other celebrities in the academic world were also shocked.

Duan Xun made a gesture to He Yaozu who was still standing there, and He Yaozu put away the documents in his hand and quietly retreated.Duan Xun looked at the disbelieving Guo Jian and said, "Director Guo, I heard that you served as the director of the Shaanxi Smoking Ban Bureau for a while, and you did a lot of work for Shaanxi's smoking ban and made great achievements."

"Yes."

"Unfortunately, Director Guo's early work has been wiped out. My troops entered Xi'an more than two months ago. In Zhouzhi, Huxian, and Xingping, all they saw were endless opium plantations. At a glance, There are no crops on the land in these counties, but opium."

Guo Xiren didn't say anything about this.

Because Guo Xiren knew about this.Shaanxi is not a rich province, but Chen Shufan and the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army have been fighting for a year, and there have been several melee battles involving tens of thousands of troops.

A war of this scale has only occurred in Hunan in this law protection war.

In order to fight in Hunan, Duan Qirui, Duan Xun, Cao Kun, and Lu Rongting invested more than [-] million military salaries in total.No matter how little the Shaanxi side spends, it is impossible for the two sides to fight a war of this scale for a year without investing more than tens of millions.

Duan Qirui controlled Beijing and borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars from Japan.Duan Xun controls Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, Cao Kun controls Zhili, and Lu Rongting controls Guangdong and Guangxi. All of them are rich masters.But even so, the military salary is a very headache for several people, and they need to do everything possible to raise the military salary.

Even these people are like this, let alone Shaanxi?

A poor province, where does the money come from, it can feed so many troops and support a year of war.

It can only be a kind of opium.

Although Guo Xiren objected, this kind of thing cannot be changed by a scholar.More and more opium is being grown here in Shaanxi, and Guo Xiren knows this very well.Seeing Guo Xiren's silence, Duan Xun said sharply: "I, Duan Xun, can't rub the sand in my eyes. Anyone who dares to harm the local area, or who dares to sell opium, counts as one, and I will definitely not let it go."

193 Controlling Shaanxi 3

"I, Duan Xun, can't rub the sand in my eyes. Anyone who dares to harm the local area, or who dares to sell opium, counts as one, and I will never let it go."

"General Duan, I have something to say."

Hearing Duan Xun's murderous words, Chen Shufan finally spoke.

Because Chen Shufan knew that if he didn't speak again, he might not have the chance to speak.At this time, no matter how stupid Chen Shufan is, he also knows that Duan Xun is here for himself, or for Shaanxi.

In the past, Duan Xun was actively preparing for the war, and now it seems that he wanted to encircle and suppress the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army as an excuse, an excuse to numb himself.After paralyzing himself in Xi'an for more than a month, Duan Xun finally made a move today.

It's for me.

Because Chen Shufan didn't believe how upright Duan Xun was.Where is there any upright person in this world, where is there any truly righteous person.Which one is not fighting for power and profit, which one is not fighting for territory.Although Duan Xun's reputation in the country is very good, Chen Shufan really doesn't believe that Duan Xun is really for opium and military discipline.

This kind of argument is okay to coax children.

All excuses.

"Chen Dujun, please tell me."

"General Duan, I remember that General Duan is only the temporary commander of the suppression of the Shaanxi Jingguo Army. I am the governor of Shaanxi. General Duan only needs to be in charge of the encirclement and suppression of the Shaanxi Jingguo Army. General Duan is not qualified to intervene in Shaanxi's military and political affairs. You Whether it’s the opium issue or military discipline, I, as the Governor of Shaanxi, will definitely deal with it seriously, and I don’t need General Duan to care about it.”

hard.

Chen Shufan knew that he couldn't soften up at this time.

After all, this is Shaanxi, and I am the boss here.And in this venue, most people still support me, they are my own people.If he softened at this time, then Duan Xun would do whatever he wanted.

Only when you are strong, those who follow you will not be intimidated by Duan Xun.Only when I and many people in the venue hard-pressed Duan Xun, could Duan Xun have some scruples.

Chen Shufan thought a lot in a short period of time.

What does Duan Xun mean?

What Duan Xun is doing now is Duan Qirui's intention or Duan Xun's intention.If it was what Duan Qirui meant, then Chen Shufan knew that he would never stand up again.Because the current Beijing government is still controlled by Duan Qirui, there is absolutely no way for him to dismiss his Shaanxi warlord.In particular, his own strength has been greatly damaged recently, and he has no strength to fight against Beijing at all.But if this is just Duan Xun's ambition, then he can fight for it.

After all, he is the justifiable Shaanxi warlord.

Even if Duan Xun wanted to swallow his territory, he couldn't go too far.Unless Duan Xun wants to completely break with Beijing, Duan Xun really dare not do anything about himself, the governor of Shaanxi.

Thinking of this, Chen Shufan gained some confidence, and immediately pushed Duan Xun back.Tell Duan Xun that this is Shaanxi, and you are only here to help encircle and suppress the Yasukuni Army in Shaanxi.You yourself have no right to meddle in Shaanxi's internal affairs.

"Ha ha."

Duan Xun couldn't help laughing at Chen Shufan.Duan Xun started to walk out of the campus in the second year of the Republic of China. To be able to get to this position, he has experienced a lot in many aspects.It's so easy to block yourself in name.

Since Duan Xun dared to do something today, he had thought through all the consequences and the excuses.

"Chen Dujun, I have never thought of interfering in Shaanxi's military and political affairs, and I will not intervene in Shaanxi's affairs. But the army is about to fight, and as the commander-in-chief of the Yasukuni Army to encircle and suppress Shaanxi, I must ensure that there will be no problems with the troops. , I must ensure the stability of the rear and the stability of the army. From the day my army was established, I taught them that the soldiers should defend their homes and the country, and the soldiers should protect the safety of one side. belief."

"But today, Shaanxi wantonly grows and sells opium, doing such things that harm the country and the people. Some troops in Shaanxi willfully plunder and plunder, causing harm to the locality. If I don't deal with these things, my officers and soldiers ask me, how should I answer. If because of these things, the faith of our officers and soldiers collapses, causing them to lose morale, their morale is turbulent, they fail to fight well on the front line, and fail to wipe out the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army, then who will bear the responsibility. If our officers and soldiers and those military disciplines are not good If there is a conflict between our troops, it will definitely affect the frontline troops, these are not my remit."

"As the commander-in-chief of the Yasukuni Army in the encirclement and suppression of Shaanxi, I have to eliminate some things that will affect the morale of the army. The first thing to bear the brunt of this is to deal with the issue of opium and military discipline. It must be dealt with, and there is no room for negotiation."

Chen Shufan was so angry that he heard the worrying sounding words.
